has many scenic backroads, but GA 305 is not one of them. A highway in a mostly
flat area with nothing more than cotton and soybean farms intermingled with scattered
pine thickets, GA 305 serves its purpose as it extends 29.4 miles along the length
of Burke County. Incorporated towns along the route include Keysville to the north
of the northern end, Vidette and Midville. In the Gough community, north of Vidette,
now decommissioned GA 80 Connector (Burke C.R. 478), part of an old alignment
of GA 80, oddly predated the creation of GA 305
by three years. |

305 was fully commissioned as a state route by 1957 and was fully paved upon commissioning.
The highway remains mostly unchanged since it was commissioned. |

lonely northern terminus of GA 305 featuring the end signage and directional assembly
on westbound GA 88. Angular intersections on both ends of the route are a bit
interesting. |
